Brockwell Park news, festival updates and more...

It was lovely in the park yesterday (although, perhaps, not quite as warm as I'd hoped!).

I had my first picnic of the year. Anyone been up there recently?

According to my blog, we didn't manage the first Brockwell Park picnic till the middle of April last year, so it was a tad ambitious!

This is why we should have a weather forum, so we can compare weather year on year. I remember a scorching week early last year but can't remember when it was

Think that was the week before (and including) Easter Weekend.

I was in the park yesterday. Bloody marvellous. Just wandered about a bit soaking up the sunshine and watching the humans unfolding from winter.

I noticed that some of the young trees that have been put in over recent years could do with some attention. Some of them have outgrown their cages, for instance, or the wooden staves have been uprooted.

Does anyone know if there's a tree monitor for Brockwell park?

I prefer gooselets

I hate Canada geese. Apparently they shit their own body weight daily


Although I guess I should be impressed by that

There's a curious inflatable pavilion moved from the V&A and installed on the lawn on the cafe side of the house as part of this year's London Achitecture Week.

It's this thing: PEACE PAVILION X SKY PAVILION

It sure promises a lot!

The Peace Pavilion represents the unity and rich exchange between different communities and the creativity that can result through such co-existence. The Structure provides an inspirational, peaceful and interactive space where visiting communities of architects, designers, families and the general public can stand, walk through or seat around to admire, embrace diversity and engage with each other to share discussions about design or other discussions about the community. The Pavilion stands as a symbol of how diverse and creative communities can work together and co-exist in harmony.

It looks like seven shades of highfallutin' weirdness.
